What are folks using for subscribing to software? We basically want something to manage email signups which we can use with an API to send out emails to everyone. Ideally they should be able to unsub if they want. We'd want to be able to send either html or markdown via api.

Bonus points if the tool can subscript to an ActivityPub actor. :P

If you only need announcements, as in 'newsletters', def. check out Keila or Listmonk.
Else, for discussion lists, Mailman 3 is the only listserv I know that supports ARC headers for delivery into Google.

@yala Excellent ty I'll check them out. We're defs more in the "newsletter" side. Mostly I want to automate sending email notifs when wehave anew blog post on @dripline

@mauve
Then you could even use Ghost as blogging engine, which market themselves as a self-hosted Patreon newsletter nowadays. I think you could leave out the payment part, if you like.

@yala @mauve Ghost requires Mailgun and only Mailgun to actually send.

It is a good all-in-one but can’t really recommend using it through an API for another system

@boris @yala @mauve i use the api often via automation, i encounter some documentation issues every now and then but seems pretty functional

@rosano @boris @mauve Yes, Mailgun and Amazon SES are the only documented mailer settings on ghost.org/docs/config/#mail

But it works fine with other working Nodemailer configurations as well. We're using it for quite some low-traffic sites at @ecobytes with our own SMTP endpoint.

nodemailer.com/smtp/

The example image shows environmental variables loaded by Docker Compose used with their stock image on Docker Hub.

@mauve @yala +1 Listmonk

It’s supported by Cloudron and seems to be pretty decent to run (I have an instance setup for CoSocial).

It is more of a backend / API driven product.

@mauve buttondown.email/ seems quite good. You have to pay for the API looks like, but there is a non-profit discount.
